SAN FRANCISCO – August 14, 2020 – MARL 5G, the accelerator program that focuses on startups creating DeepTech products and services for enterprise customers running on 5G, today announced the eight startups that will be participating in its Fall, 2020 Cohort Portfolio. The early stage ventures entering the MARL 5G program include companies developing human-machine interaction software, video streaming, AI-based robots and more. Each firm receives a small amount of seed funding along with professional guidance, perks and other growth-oriented benefits.

“This is a very impressive cohort,” said a spokesperson for MARL 5G. “Each venture represents innovation that we think can be transformative and disruptive to the market.” MARL’s goal is to build a community of early stage investors, startup founders, and corporate venture teams in the emerging 5G space.

In particular, the accelerator works with companies and people working within mobility, AR/VR, robotics and logistics—all of which will experience a huge disruption as wireless 5G technology spreads. The spokesperson added, “We believe 5G technology will be a key growth enabler in these sectors. We are committed to creating a healthy, vibrant ecosystem to make that happen.” The 5G enterprise market is expected to increase from $3B in 2020 to $20B by 2025.
